Huo Xuting kicked the chair in front of him in anger, his entire being exuding a fierce aura.
He picked up his coat from the floor and left without looking back.
The person on the bed finally stirred. Lin Muyu propped herself up with difficulty and asked, "Huo Xuting...Do you remember what day it is today?"
The man stalled in his tracks, then his brow furrowed in distaste. He threw over his shoulder, "Insane!"
In that suave tone, those two words crumbled all of her defiance. Lin Muyu could no longer control the feeling of heaviness in her heart and burst into tears.
Today was the third anniversary of their marriage, and the tenth year they had known each other.
They had met ten years ago. Lin Muyu fell for him at first sight, yet Huo Xuting didn't remember. He never remembered!
She had spent three years thinking that her sincere feelings would bring out even the slightest affection in Huo Xuting.
But three years went by, and Huo Xuting never gave her an ounce of love. He spared no humiliation, and even in their most intimate moments, he would call out Xiaoya's name over and over again.
Xiaoya… Lin Xiaoya!
Her half-sister from the same father!
Even though she left three years ago, she lingered in Lin Muyu's life like a curse, strangling her breath!
Tears seeped through the gaps between Lin Muyu's fingers as she covered her face.
Huo Xuting was her husband, the man she had loved for over 3000 days and nights.
But he hated her! He wanted her to pay! He wanted her to suffer a hundredfold! He wanted her... to wish she was dead.
The room was sunken into silence, filled only with her grieving weeping.
Early the next day, Lin Muyu was awoken by the ringing of her mobile phone. She picked it up, enduring her discomfort. It was a call from Huo Xuxing.
"There are contraceptives on the bedside table, you know what to do."
The coldness in his tone was chilling, as if he was speaking to a hidden mistress rather than his wife of three years.
The morning light filtered through the window to illuminate the bedside table. There was indeed a small white pill sitting quietly there, but the bright light couldn't dispel the gloominess in the room.
"Huo Xuxing!" Lin Muyu yelled his name with all her might; her shoulders were trembling. "I will not take it! If you dare, just kill me!"
"You won't?" Huo Xuxing was in no hurry, casually issuing a warning. "If you don't, I'll make sure the Lin family never rises again."
"You dare!"
Lin Muyu's eyes were full of rage. Compared to the Huo family, the Lin family was as inferior as earth to heaven. If Huo Xuxing really wanted to do something, the Lins had absolutely no strength to resist.
"You can't do this, my father is innocent!"
Huo Xuxing snorted coldly. "His biggest mistake was giving birth to a daughter like you."
With those words, Huo Xuxing hung up the phone without giving her any chance to speak.
Strike the snake 'til its seven inches. Huo Xuxing always knew her Achilles heel. Whenever he hurt her, he was always merciless.
But...
Lin Muyu lowered her gaze to her belly. Her marriage of three years was nothing but a cage, and Huo Xuxing had left her alone in this apartment.
In these three years, she had nothing. Now all she wanted was to have a child of her own.
She moistened her lips and reached out to pick up the pill. After some hesitation, she finally threw it into the trash bin.
